From singers to songwriters to TV jockey’s, #InstaLove was a contest designed to bride the gap between chicks like us and dudes like them. We hooked up Eric Bellinger — Grammy award winning songwriter (Chris Brown, Usher) — on a date with Shaniqua — a 25-year-old marketer and recorded their encounter.

“I just entered the contest going out on a whim. I’m at this point in my life when I’m like ‘Let’s just try to new things,'” Shaniqua said in an confessional interview. The duo enjoyed fine eats at the Spur Tree in NYC and conversed about typical first date topics (you know, family and friends, etc.). “He made me laugh a couple of times, he was genuine,” she added.
